AJ Styles Discusses Making It To WWE, The Locker-Room Reception, More

AJ Styles recently spoke with The Atlanta Journal Constitution, here are the highlights…

On Making It To WWE: “I know I took the long route to get here, but it was worth it. The timing was perfect when it came to my career. And I’m ready to be that WWE superstar.”

On Loving Going Home: “I have four kids and a wife, and I love them. The first thing I want to do when I come back into town is get home, and hug them and squeeze them. I have a 1-year-old daughter, and she’s amazing. So I just want to get home, take them out to dinner and have that family atmosphere. … There’s nothing like spending time with your family at home. That’s the life that I live. To me, there’s only one thing more important than my family and that’s God. The rest is all them.”

On The Reception From The WWE Locker Room: “I didn’t expect (the wrestlers) to be so open to me coming in. These guys bust their tails and made a lot of sacrifices to be here. And here comes this guy out of nowhere. Sometimes you’ll walk into a locker room and you’ll get, ‘What’s that guy doing here?’ In WWE, it’s not like that at all. They literally welcomed me with open arms. I can’t describe how great the locker room is. This is why the WWE is successful, because they have a locker room that gets it done. These guys get it and understand, and they’re ready to get out there and work. They know we’re in the entertainment business, and they respect what I’ve done. You don’t see that everywhere.”
